Abstract (English)

"Joseph Bueys: Coyote - An Action. Since the early sisties Joseph Beuys has presented "actions", performances incorporating elements of theatre and ritual to express the unity of art and live. These were often performed in out-of-the-way places, seen by small audiences, and shrouded in frangmentary and inaccurate reports. In this volume Caroline Tisdall makes the first attempt to describe a Beuys-Action in its totality and document every stage photographically. Her text traces the ideas that form the basis of "Coyote", deciphering the sympolic elements through which they were presented." -- p. [3] of cover.
